Sports Business Professionals - Career Stories Series

Over the last few weeks, alongside looking for my next opportunity, I've been working on something I've always been passionate about. Introducing The Commercial Dept. 🟢 A platform covering the business of sport: partnerships, marketing, brand launches, wholesale and retail. The main aim is simple: to give people an insight into how the sports industry really works, whether that's at a brand, a team, an agency or anywhere in between. That's why I've launched Inside the Dept., a series giving people across the industry the chance to tell their story. I hope it will: Inspire young people who want to break into the industry. Help those already in it to learn and grow. Create a space to network and connect (an event could be on the cards 👀) Our first feature is with Luke Donaldson , Executive Director of International Partnerships at the Chicago Bulls. From cold emails after a Sports Law degree to the ITF, Arsenal, Roc Nation and now the Bulls, it's a genuinely inspiring story with some brilliant advice for anyone in or around partnerships. A huge thank you to Luke for the support and for being our first guest. 🙌 This is just the start. If anyone in my network would be open to being featured, or would like to support what we're building, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a message.
